Apparently there is a big lineup at the Kurken, since he counts as a Core Hound as well. Hounds of Culuthas are still demons, though.

Kommentar von Interest

Wow, this is just plain epic. I'm going to go to MC on the first day and tame myself one of these.

I'll have a screenshot once servers are up... maybe.

I am so excited, I am going to have to try this out in the beta.

Who pulled the firespawn with the Core Hound?

I think a hunter did, but it's tamed now!

;( i wanted a hyena but after this i see that this pet is flat out better(i'm a MM hunter)

Kommentar von BigRedBrent

So they added two more stable slots. Well if they are going to finally add stable slots after four years of begging then why on earth did they not add at least 5 more slots. I mean COME ON!

Four slots total don't even allow two of each class of pet since that would require at least five stable slots. I just wish Blizzard developers would not skimp on some things that would not be difficult in the least to implement. Two years ago I was stressing that if they implemented more stable slots that they should not skimp and only add a few more. I suggested that they add at least five more slots allowing for a total of at least 8 pets. Why the hell should hunters be required to abandon pets so often if we would rather keep some of our older pets after taming some of the newer ones?

And don't dare say that it would cost them money to store the data, they get payed many hundreds of times more then they should be payed to store such data.

/end of rant

Seeing all the new pets just made me relive the anger I once had at the lack of stable slots, and then a slap in the face four years later with the addition of only a few more slots. And I don't care if you think that it is a lot of slots now, it is still tiny in comparison to what they could easily without any problems add.

Kommentar von Contay

edit: seems like Image shack ate the picture a long time ago. Also, the original comment I had responded to is long gone.

The original image was of the Kurken, tamed, in response to someone asking if it would be a core hound. There was a lot of discussion back in the pre-WotLK days about whether or not the Kurken would count as a Core Hound and thus be tamable by hunters.

Kommentar von Cuphat

Red Core Hound from MC - tamed successfully.

Ancient Core Hound, 62+. Didn’t try the core hound packs for obvious reasons. Duo’d it with the druid in my party, restoration spec’d. Throwaway pet to get you into a resable spot near the first Core Hound, there’s a safe spot along the edges away from the other core hound that pats to the bridge and the maniac surger. Damaged it to start to keep aggro, then tamed away.

Yes, completely tameable. Thank you, Blizzard. I will love you forever for this.

I am so glad the more wolf-like white one can be tamed.

As a wolf/dog lover I was worried about which exotic pet to choose, but now the choice is clear.

I just hope there is a white-model one for horde players to have easy access to. Are they in Northrend or is it only Kurken and Omen?

This is the reason why we dont have gnome hunters, the core hounds would mistake them for a chew toy after being tamed.

For some reason, it shakes the ground around you when he walks. It's pretty awesome.

Oh also, in case people don't know this, they level instantly to 5 levels under the Hunter's level. I tamed The Kurken, and he started at lvl 65.

thats even better than a corehound.

Dang I was going Chimera until I saw this... =DBut to answer another question, yes a blue post confirmed 2 more stable slots a bit back

Frankly I think Hunters (at least BM) are getting the most love going into WotLK.edit - well obviously outside the DK ;)

Kommentar von ShinryuMasaki

Before saying they are not tamable, did you try it out yourself first?

Kommentar von AusSpyder

It's still boss level, iv done it a number of times in the last couple weeks

Kommentar von ShinryuMasaki

I'm going to repost what I said on The Beast's page further down. Keep in mind that all I want is to find out the truth about skull boss mobs and their real level. Do their level actually change to match the players, or only their stats? It's not outside the real of possibilities that their level is set to 1 and that their stats goes up to match 3 levels above the players.

I'm sorry if for some of you people out there that just thinking that we might have been wrong on those types of mobs after a few years is making you feel uncomfortable. That's why I'm asking the question in the first place, because right now no one we know of have tried it yet on the beta servers. All we need is a few beta testers to go there and try it so that we can all know the truth. Though while Magmadar and The Beast do have attacks that might make Tame Beast near impossible to channel, it doesn't mean that it cannot work on them.

"We don't know the actual level of the skull boss mobs. Is it really higher than the player, or is it just a display function to hide the real level of said mobs?

According to that page "These bosses have a "dynamic" level - when a numeric level is required for some calculation, they are considered to be 3 levels above the player character involved in that calculation." It says considered 3 levels above, not is 3 levels above. Is this true or it is just the person who wrote the article that made that up?

I am really curious to find out the truth. Are skull boss mobs really 3 levels above us or not? Right now Wowhead list The Beast and Magmadar as tamable. Is it a bug or is it real? Just outright saying they are not tamable without trying out Tame Beast on them first doesn't prove anything. It shouldn't be hard for a group of level 80 beta players to reach both of them to test this.

Seriously, if they are not tamable then they should be removed from the list. But unless someone goes to them, use Tame Beast, and gives us proof that in fact they are tamable or not, we don't know."

Kommentar von jeddic

Raid bosses are ALWAYS higher lvl than the player.

Kommentar von jimmydean43

does that mean you can tame omen in ashenvale o.0?

Kommentar von aartamen

This is how I tamed mine on PTR. MDed to pet the first giants. Ran forward just past the last firelord (there's a pair at the bridge and one solo behind) and died. It's possible to survive that and FD. Got rezz from a druid. Did pretty much the same and ran all the way down to that little peninsula. Got a rezz, got aggored by a rock there. Killed it with the druid. Tamed the dog that comes to that spot.

Kommentar von kaze950

Is there anything more than their special ability that makes these pets worth it? I would've thought exotic pets have better damage/health/armor bonuses, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Kommentar von nERVEcenter

Level 12 Kurken + Tame Beast at 10 = Best leveling pet ever.

Edit:

Durr, Beast Mastery at 60, that sucks.

Kommentar von aartamen

It slows casting 50% and does small damage. Nothing else to it.

Also I was prepared for the ground shake, but the damn thing is constantly crackling and simmering. It's like standing next to a fire. It's very annoying at first, but then you start tuning it out.

And there's a huge difference in aggro and survivability between Tenacity and Ferocity. Huge. I am not sure what Cunning is supposed to be.

Kommentar von Gunslinger

I want Chromaggus.

Kommentar von Schadenfreude

I remember trying to tame a level 11 worg on my hunter when she first reached level 10. The Tame Beast casting bar would reach the end of its cast time, and then nothing would happen. The worg kept biting me. I didn't understand why this was happening until I tried to tame another worg (a level 10 one this time) and it worked. (This was in 2005, so maybe it's different now.)

So unless that mechanic has changed, you're going to get to the end of the cast on The Beast or Magmadar (if you can, they both have a Fear move and The Beast has an off-target charge) and nothing will happen. I fully support your desire to test this out, but I think you can rest assured that a boss mob really is 3 levels higher than you. (I remember seeing old thottbot entries where bosses were listed as level 500, so they may be more than that, even.)

Kommentar von dowso

We don't know the actual level of the skull boss mobs. Is it really higher than the player, or is it just a display function to hide the real level of said mobs?

It is my understanding that it can be safely assumed that a boss level mob is indeed 3 levels higher than the character attacking it due to hit mechanics and the fact that to reach hit cap against a boss level mob a player must have enough +hit to reach 99% chance to hit against a mob with a level determined by a very simple formula: player level + 3. If a bosses "true" level were actually 1 as you suggest, a player that has reached level cap would need 0 +hit to attack that particular mob with a 99% chance of landing a blow.

Also, you only receive crushing blows from mobs at least 3 levels higher than you, and since blizzard is supposedly changing the mechanic to a mob at least 4 levels higher than you to remove crushing blows from boss fight mechanics that pretty much narrows it down to a boss level mobs "true" level being, once again: player level + 3.

I don't know any other way to prove this. To quote Jeddic:

Raid bosses are ALWAYS higher lvl than the player.

Kommentar von byne

Seems like their size was scaled down. I logged onto the PTR and my hunter's Kurken was about the same size as your average bear. But it still makes the ground shake when it walks somehow...

Kommentar von Badbreath

To much said for a spec that wont even exist by someone who does pve.Hmmm, wait, no pvp use also.I like these pets, but the Beast masters future is pretty obvious, Does not exist...

Kommentar von Grizlor

After hunters have worked so hard to try and cast off the shackles of their "huntard' reputation and be wanted by groups again, along comes WotLK and this pet. After tanking an instance where a hunter was using a gun and had a corehound pet, I think I was about to go insane.

THUD THUD THUDBANG BANG BANGROAAAAAAAARBANG BANG BANGTHUD THUD THUD

Plus the screen shaking on top of all that. I'm seriously never grouping with a hunter who has this pet ever again.

Kommentar von Ollias

Ok, so if you spec BM tame a core hound and then spec out to MM or S do you still get to keep the pet?

Kommentar von epikimenos

Reduce the target's casting time 50% for 10 secs and it has CD 10secs...How cool is this for Arena? Bestial Wrath - send it to the healer and keep him like this for at least 18 secs! (until a rogue blinds it or a lock fears it)

Kommentar von seb4

I tamed him.. it was easy.. here the steps i used

Have a healer to keep you alive.(i had a priest (no need to be healer main spected))

Kommentar von forgottenone

Was able to tame a Ancient Core Hound in MC with 2 friends one being a feral druid and the other being a holy priest. Killed the first to giants, then jumped in the lava and swam over to the nearest mob (path leading to Gehennas) and killed a Lava Annihilator. We then waited for a Ancient Core Hound to come, I used Distracting Shot, Steady Shot, Arcane Shot then started Taming. My priest had a bubble and prayer of mending on me and reapplied the moment it left, then they both did small heals (enough to keep me up) and I was able to get it. Just note the Ancient Core Hound does a debuff called Ancient Dread which will make your tame beast take 30 seconds instead of 20 seconds.

Kommentar von bghostman

Get one. First thing I did was tame Kurken (two other hunters waiting there too).

Then I went to Nagrand to try him out and train up a bit. Taking on the Ogres three at a time with no problems and only pulled agro off of him once on full constant steady shot rotation.

The thumpy steps might eventually get annoying, but it's pretty cool right now.

Kommentar von criniscorvis

Corehound Vs, Devilsaur, who wins?

Kommentar von firstartemis

Taming an Ancient Core Hound 101.

Raid Make up:51 pt BM Hunter (you)Healer (preferably druid, but any will do)Any Pet (optional if you have a druid)

Under no circumstances should your healer heal till step 4

Step 1:Enter Molten Core near BRD by talking to Lothos if you are attuned or Green Raid portal inside BRD. This may seem obvious, but you would be surprised how many people do not know where Molten Core is anymore. Talk to Lothos to get the atunement quest before entering BRD, its always nice to have an easy atunement.

Step 2 With druid healer:Dismiss your pet (not abandon). When you enter Molten core you will see 2 giants. On the right giants side, is a lava river and a ledge. Run past the giant and try to jump on the ledge. If you do not make it, do not fret. Get to land and Feign Death. Have the druid stealth and follow you. If at all possible, try to be on the ledge its not impossible to tame a core hound, just makes it easier. If the druid pulls agro, use http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=58984, it now works in combat. Ancient Corehounds see through stealth

Step 2 without a druid healer:have your healer stand away from you as far as they can. Send your pet to the farthest mob it will go to. Your pet is going to die. While your pet clears the giants and agros a mob, have your healer hug the right wall and drop off the right side where the giant was. Again try to land on the ledge if you can This makes things much easier. You should fd at this point since the mobs your pet just agroed are now coming after you. Get some health and go to where the priest is and fd since again, a bunch of mobs will be trying to kill you.

Step 3:follow the wall (whether you made it to the ledge or not) till you can not go any further. If you made it to the ledge, you can follow it till it ends and drop off with out agroing any mobs. if you didnt, you will need to send your pet far away, run around that corner and feign death. make sure your healer makes it around there before you do. Otherwise he/she may get agro and die. That area gives you the option to tame 2 Ancient Corehounds with out the risk of agroing any other mobs. Both of them pat, but only one actually pats in the path you will be in.

Step 4:Build agro by shooting and attacking the core hound of your choice. You will actually have to be under his mouth to do any damage to him in melee range, but he still has the ability to attack you. Your healer should do light healing at this point, just keeping you alive, as long as you are not taming, the corehound wont hit you for too much. After you feel you have enough threat built, start the taming process. At this point, the corehound will hit you for about 2k each hit for about 6-7 hits. Your healer should be able to keep you alive. Without a healer and having only 9.5k hp, i could get to about 3-4 secs left before i died.

Step 5:do /woot and /cheer because you now have your Red Core Hound that very few people on your server will have.

Just some things to note.1. Red Corehounds have a burning ember sound when you tame them.2. They also shake the screen when they walk. I think you can turn this off under your options for those that do not like the screen shake.3. You do not have to feed your pet. Although he is unhappy, just spec http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=53187, it will probably take a couple mobs, but the pet will be happy afterwards.4. You can not name this pet Princess, blizzard has the name reserved (i ended up naming mine Spike)

hello :D i want this pet, and many says i first can got it in lvl 65. its true?

Kommentar von tankinarkansas

some friends of mine decided to help me get mine as i dinged 62.

we cleared the begining trash then three healers helped me.

because of my lower than lvl 70 damage output the healers rotated a heal as i did my best to aggro it and keep aggro for the taming. one crit heal by my shaman friend and it was on him so i blew my dps timers and eventually got all the aggro.

after that it was rotating the healers, a bloodlust and then new core hound. easily doable with good communication.

Ugh, I hate these things. They make the ground rumble when they walk, and keep growling over and over again; both of which the sounds and effects have a range of at least 100 yards.

Kommentar von amthayer

Taming the core hound in MC is soloable. I and a friend (he came up with the idea when no one would help him) did it on Illidan server Alliance side.

What you need:Fire resist potHaste potAbacus of Violent OddsEnough Resil to be crit immuneat least 10k hpany other haste is helpful (but not needed)

As others have stated as you enter MC you can mis direct mobs to a throwaway pet and jump on the ledge to your right and feign there while your pet dies. Drink the resist pot. You now have one minute until you can use the haste pot with trinket. There are two core hounds you can tame...one pats by the ledge you are on and one that is up the path a bit. Either is fine but timing is critical.

Because the timing is so tricky it is best to bring several of each potion.... after the first few tries you well get the timing down and say hello to a new red core hound!

Kommentar von DemonHybrid

Just to let you know how strong one of these babies are:

I was with a 70 hunter from my guild, plus me (51 priest) and a 60 rogue going through scholomance for kicks. First room, me and the rogue acci-pull 8 or 9 mobs and die easily. We come back and that green two-headed....thing...had close to full health, with all 9 mobs dead.

You want a pet that can tank? Get yourself one of these, now. Core hounds probably have arguably the most armor than any pet in the game (I'm not a hunter, I could be wrong) and are a GREAT addition if you need a pet tank.

Those of you who are annoyed by the THUD THUD THUDing, level up a hunter and try one of these bad boys out and you'll feel invincible, I'm sure my guildmate did. You get used to the thudding. I'm sure it was going on all the time, but after a while, I was able to just tune it out.

Kommentar von gemli

Kommentar von verduran

Just solo tamed the MC one successfully on my 70 hunter.

Dumped my trash pet the first time so I retried it a few times without pet :/

Brought with me abacus, haste potions and battlemaster trinket (would've brought fire protection potions but there were none on AH)

Popped deterrence then hugged the right wall, aggroed the giants but jumped off the ledge. Most of the time I landed on the lava but it was fine, I just swam up straight to the land and FD as soon as I wasn't getting the lava dmg. I was then able to drink full without aggroing the firelord.

Popped beast tracking and waited until the dog stopped right outside the tunnel, hugged right and went into the tunnel then FD again when I got far enough not to aggro the dog. Stood and heal full again.Got to max range for taming, popped abacus, haste potion and battlemaster (and fire protection potion if you have it) and tame away.

Took me 5 tries (some I died before trying to tame) till the dog missed once. Was at 8500hp and ended up with less than 400. Should be more doable with more HP and potions (I also had 63res from S3 helm and the ring from ZA 3rd chest) Just make sure u've brought enough potions so you don't have to run all the way back before ur armor reach 0%.

One thing I don't like about BM Hunters being able to tame Core Hounds: it seems that EVERY Hunter is BM and EVERY one of them uses a Core Hound (and for some reason, they're ALL the ones from SMV...jeez, guys, get the Kurken or one from Molten Core....). I'm no longer amazed by watching Core Hounds rampage through Orgrimmar; now it's a major surprise to see a Bat or a Bear or something...

I think.. with the Core Hound you now really can "Kill it with fire!" Much like the Dragonhawk.. though it's more anti-mage/healer so it seems to me like it would be a decent pvp pet to take out the pesky magic users that tend to make life difficult for anyone that gets caught by their spell.

Now with all pets at the same Damage, HP, and Armour, its just a question of which one you like best and the abillity it has. With Lava Breath, the Corehound is a Killer for all spellcasters in PvP.

As one of the few success stories at lvl 62, i thought id share my own.

Got mine today with a friend who had a 75 priest and an 80 dk. The dk killed the 2 giants then 2 more mobs to the right (after jumping into the lava) then he got on his priest. I pulled the core hound with distracting shot and then began taming. My friend spammed holy nova (which generates 0 threat) and put divine guardian on me. Divine guardian didn't proc but it came pretty close and i got my core hound.

Kommentar von PinkSugar2

I just solo tamed him on a lvl70 hunter. I stacked as much stamina gear as I could find in the auction house. I didn't pay any attention to any other stat but stamina. I wound up with about 13k unbuffed when I was done.

Use the videos of people soloing the tame as a guide, they are very good and will get you through this. I waited until I was past the aggro point of the first two mobs outside the lava, but before the core hound's ledge, to take a moment and buff up. I used Scroll of Stamina VII, Flask of Fortification and Baked Manta Ray (+40 Haste and Stamina) while in Aspect of the Monkey. It's a good idea to target the core hound that moves onto the ledge as soon as possible so that you don't have to move around to do it. Once I was buffed, I waited for him to start coming down from the ledge. He will hit a point where he's within tame range, but still around that bend. As soon as you see him hit tame range, pop a Potion of Speed (500 Haste for 15 seconds), this brought my tame-pet down to 14.9 seconds. I pulled him with tame pet alone. He didn't break tame, and I was left with just over 1k hp when I was done.

Make sure you've brought meat for him!

EDIT: I should mention that taming him is not easy. I spent one afternoon getting attuned to MC (I didn't even have the Shadowforge Key). Then it took about 2 hours of trial and error before finally succeeding. The hardest part, I found, is getting your timing just right. Sometimes I couldn't make it past the mobs on the side of the lava. Another time I waited too long and aggro'd the Core Hound as he was coming down the ledge. I accidentally pulled another Core Hound that was behind me coming out of the tunnel. My advice is to be well stocked on buff items (because you might die more times than you expect to) and to not use them until you're sure you're in the right spot to tame. That way you haven't wasted them when a mob gets you. To take as little damage as possible from the giants at the start and the lava you have to swim through, a fire resistance pot and Deterrence are your best friends. However, through my own trials, I found that it was more successful to use Potion of Speed while you're taming rather than a fire resistance pot. Your mileage may vary.

Linking to those who came here looking for the new 3.3 Authenticator Core Hound Pup. This page here is about the hunter pet, the one I just linked is for the companion.

Just to prove it could be done, we tamed this guy at lvl 62 today. Done with a restro druid. we cleared the trash first, of course, rather than doing the jump trick. druid went cat form to pull aggro (not attacking, just walking aggro). druid dashed back to me, went tree. as soon as hound was in range, i popped every cooldown i had to generate aggro. started taming, while the druid cast hots. lifebloom MUST be manually removed by the hunter or the dtuid will pull aggro. improved tranquility for the last 8 seconds, and he's all mine. i will note, however, that i did spend some gold in order to stack enough stam to not get one hit critted. +30 stam gems x3 in my legs, plus stam enchants on boots and bracers. Not an easy task, to say the least. we did fail several times. Unless you have a bunch of gold laying around to spend on gems and enchants that really arent useful for a lvl 62 hunter, dont waste your time. the only reason we did it was to see if it could be done. pic posted here.....http://soundlizard.com/images/clifford.JPG im aware that this will get downrated, due to people knowing its a stupid idea to do this at 62 and waste all that time and money doing it. i never said it was a good idea. just did it for kicks.

They are based off of Cerberus. But Cerberus have three heads and not two.

Kommentar von blujay086

Cerberus, the dog of Hades, has three heads, but core hounds definitely inspired by that. Hell Hound would be a much cooler name!

Kommentar von Kellson22

Hey, just to let you know, I am currently a BM hunter at level 69 now, and I dont know about you guys, but my cunning pets do way more dps than ferocity pets now due to the Wolverine Bite cunning pets can now get. In randoms with some buffs, (like kings on me and might on my pet) on a boss i can pull around 1400 dps, and normally around 52-59% of my dps is my pet. I tested out a couple of cunning pets, and the ones that seem to the most damage is the Nether Ray, and its strange because its CD on its ability is 28 seconds. Strangely enough my Sporebat is one of my highest DPS pets, then followed by the Chimaera and then my raptor (which is my backup pet if the boss does alot of damage to pets.)

So I guess since the change on Wolverine Bite, I see cunning pets the #1 on dps again, but ferocity not much behind.

Kommentar von amonrah

As soon as I got the beast Mastery talent I was on my way to Azuremyst isle for kurken... love the colour of him and he rocks out. might be a little loud on his feet so I guess sneaking up on somethying would more than likely be out of the question...lol but he's a great pet to have. My previous pet was a moth and that was equally fun but realy how scary can a giant moth be in a pvp situation....well unless a hordie has an intense phobia of moths.... :P

Kommentar von OverlordAxefury

ive got all three core hounds all in same day at 72 i just had a lvl 80 priest from my guild bubble me n fear ward me n it was easy on mc hound and after i tamed him n set his talent he tanked some mc mobs lmao thx to priest heals ofcourse. correct me if im wrong but will kurken still be avaible after cata dosnt show him on tame list in cata wowhead. again curious i dont need to worry already got him xD (red with flame sound effect my fav)

Kommentar von Snakey402

I have a level 55 NE Hunter. I've been leveling as a Marksmanship Hunter but I'm curious to know if I can tame this Core Hound (preferably the lv 12 in Exodar) even though I don't have the Beast Mastery skill.

core hounds are getting a bloodlust like ability in cata hope it stays

if you try to tame the fire core hound go luck to you its a pain

New and improved with cata, with this guy you can bring your raid Bloodlust!

Kommentar von grammarya

The Kurken came up as untameable when I tried.

Kommentar von bkevol

i have the kurken tamed in my stables still from way back when.. and the molton core corehound. now in 4.0 i dont have the bloodlust ability called "ancient hysteria". is this because i tamed them before the 4.0 patch? or is it a bug?.... guess i can go get the green one real quick and find out.

Kommentar von hubbard

a shaman pet

Kommentar von ryknow69

Due to a bug, Corehounds in 4.0.1 Patch have an additional 1 talent point, so at level 80, they have a total of 21, instead of 20.

Kommentar von anyankha

The description is a little confusing, it says " They are tamable by hunters starting at level 12." I was under the impression you could only tame these if you were a BM hunter, with the last point in the BM tree, which would be impossible to attain at lvl 12.Could anyone clarify this? I got a 34 hunter and I'd like to tame this after seeing the "They are tamable by hunters starting at level 12."

Edit: They are NOT tamable at lvl 12, the earliest you can tame one is lvl 69, by filling the talent "Beast Mastery" under the BM tree.

Edit: Description was fixed and no longer reads "" They are tamable by hunters starting at level 12."

Is there any word about the Molten Core Core Hound being removed in Cataclysm?

Kommentar von Benegesserit

Mages are getting trolled pretty hard by this pet getting this spell and their max level spell being the same thing.

Kommentar von Magnakilro

COMING SOON TO CATA!

Chromaggus in BWL and Magmadar in MC will be Tameable!

The Beast will lose his boss tag but the two new guys have it!

also a new core hound look in Blasted Lands: its a slightly yellower version of the SMV core hounds. It has red flames on its back.

Kommentar von maguild

I tamed The Beast a while back and he looked like a boss pet. That was great! After this latest patch 4.0.3, he just looks like any other lvl 80 pet. Im quite mad and am thinking I might try tame again to solve the problem. Did this happen to anyone else?

Kommentar von maguild

Really anoyed that my 'The Beast' hunter pet is no longer a boss pet. Hope that your right about them new cata bosses having the boss tag and are tamable. Thnx for the info Magnakilro!

Kommentar von archershirou

i found a super easy way to do this np for the core in MC after getting attuned i am a lvl 85 surv/BM hunter and my freind is a lvl 76 BM hunter(not sure wat her other spec is i think its surv but not sure) i ran her thro BRD and got her the quest done np ( after killing the lord incendius we went for a swim in the lava off the left side if i remember corectly and swam to a rock not too far away she needed to heal after we swam to the nxt rock andf then to the ledge that leads to a walkway to the entrance to MC i had a corehopund pet with me wen we enterened i killed a few creatures in there to make room then i went to BM spec and brought out my corehound b4 she started to tame i used my corehounds ancient hysteria to make the tame faster then dismissed my pet and she started to trame it it got her to bout halfway of her life b4 she got her new pet it was so darn easy that way i love my corehounds ancient hysteria its herlped alot and i hope this helps other hunters tooo im archershirou on server blackdragon flight if ur on my server and need this pet ill be more than happy to take u hope ive help fellow hunters out there and wil get to help others in the game too the same way

Kommentar von Magnakilro

Concerning the Core Hounds in Mount Hyjal that non-BM's can tame. Patch 4.0.6 is removing thier tameability for hunters that do not have the talent to tame Exotics.

Kommentar von wickedland

The Chromaggus skin is still not listed as tamable, come on wowhead lets get an update here!

Core Hounds no longer have the loud stomping noises for me =[

Chromaggus can be tamed. Yeah, that guy. The one that wiped your raid. Alot. Now you can wipe other peoples raids.Sadly he does not turn raid bosses into dragonkin to kill things.Or freeze people.Yeah, no curses at all. Just Chromaggus.The guy that wiped you.

I don´t know why, but you can´t find that hound, if you just seach for hunter pets - core hounds?

I just tried to tame the Kurken and was told it was not tameable. Where can I tame one of the white corehounds like that one?

If you have to be lvl 69 then why does wowhead claim it is tameable starting at lvl12?

Kommentar von Zodia

These guys looks sweet, I forgot to tame the Beast when I still played.

Kommentar von RexRaptor89

Just a fun fact and interesting name for your Core Hound.

Instead of naming him Cerberus, Orthrus is a good name. Orthrus is Cerberus' two headed hell hound brother =]

Thought I'd share a good name =P

thas is an nice pet i whant thas pet

Kommentar von Rumoni

Tamed one from MC solo.

Where the first two giants are jump down off to the right. If you are luck you wont land in the lave. Then Feign Death. After that you can jump into a hall way. Just wait there until a hound pats through there. Then pop a Haste potion (will make tame beast a 15 sec cast) then use Deterrence. Took me about 5 tries but I did it. Also you can try a Fire Protection Pot but there weren’t any up in our AH.

Kommentar von TheHeroOfTheDawn

Why does it say that "but unfortunately only Uvuros knows Ancient Hysteria." Pets are standardized, and yes other Green Core Hounds have the ability.

Kommentar von crbyrd2

Just tamed The Kurken didn't even know he existed in that cave til i read it here he is so awesome in looks but other posters are correct my core hound pup makes more noise than this guy. wonder why bliz did that? havent tried him in battle yet i will.

It looks like Blizzard is giving away core hounds to players who add secure authentication to their accounts.

Kommentar von Reignac

The drakeadon skin is no longer unique to Chromaggus. A level 49 rare, Chromehound, spawns in Blackrock Mountain near the BRS summoning stone and walks in a circular path along the main chamber. I camped Chromehound for about 2 hours but its respawn may be longer than that, I don't know how long he was gone before I showed up.

Kommentar von grouchomarx

If you are looking for a red core hound: no need to go to MC. Just start the dailies for Molten Front and then there are red ones to be found in Hyjal!

Kommentar von WokkaD

This is all very good about taming them. How the heck do you kill them so they stay dead when there's more than one after you?The presence of more than one resurects the dead one. This appears to happen even if they are both dead. It also happens when you drag the mob of them away from the dead one :(The only way i can see is to skin them. This is difficult when you're solo & busy fighting them :( ... or if you're not a skinner.

There is also a yellow corehound, Gomegaz, that can be tamed before lvl 69 (I tamed on a lvl 57 worgen bm hunter). He is in Blasted Lands, walks a path along the NW edge of the Dark Portal, coords 52.6, 41.8.

Kommentar von Deltethnia

If you tame one of the corehounds from the packs in front of Magmadar it WILL reignite the packs of dead corehounds even after taming. Dismissing and resummoning does nothing. Exiting the raid and zoning back in needs research.
